been mure than ready to join her OPP
pressors when any temporary benefit
could accrue to the Holy See. When
the Irish people cut leose from the
political and religious thraldOm of
Rome, and give her to understand that
neither her advice nor dictation will
be tolerated in the domestic affairs of
their country, then will her truest and
best friends feel that the day of her
deliverance is near at hand. These
sentiments are forced upon US by read
ing the following from a Roman cor
respondent, which, as usual, condemns

Miss Willard on the Whisky Tax.

At the national convention of The
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union in Nashville, recently, Miss
Francis f. Willard made speech
III favor Of repeating tho internal
revenue tax on whisky. She said 4:
1 hope we shall distinctly declare
ourselves liz favor OF removing the
internal revenue tax from all intox
lcating liquors. 1t is a covenent
with hell aud . compact with damua,
tion. TO day it stands as the
strongest bulwark between the
liquor traffic aud annhilation. We
want no monopolies in sin-least Of
oil that the national government
should be the largest stockholder,
getting ninety cents on every gallon
OF whisky aud ninety.three cents in

is rather horid, there is no difficulty
in understanding her attitude The
